- Analyze logs, monitor indexing and orchestration pipelines, and identify root causes of connector or configuration issues.
- Collaborate with internal engineers to resolve complex technical challenges and document findings.
- Testing & Validation
- Execute and document functional, performance, and regression testing for connector and orchestration configurations.
- Validate installations, upgrades, and patches prior to customer delivery.
- Ensure configuration consistency across environments (Dev, Test, UAT, Production).
- Documentation & Process Compliance
- Maintain clear and accurate records of work performed, including environment details, configuration parameters, and troubleshooting notes.
- Follow internal implementation methodologies, quality checklists, and escalation procedures.
- Provide feedback to improve documentation, internal tools, and reusable scripts or templates.

- Work closely with Senior Consultants, Support Engineers, and Project Managers to ensure technical readiness for project milestones.
- Operate largely asynchronously, performing work during flexible hours that complement global project timelines.

- 2–4 years of experience in technical support, software configuration, system integration, or quality assurance—preferably in a SaaS or enterprise software
